7 They made the apostles stand before them and asked them, “How did you do this? What power have you got or whose name did you use?”
8 Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, answered them, “Leaders of the people and elders:
9 if we are being questioned today about the good deed done to the lame man and how he was healed,
10 then you should all know, and all the people of Israel should know, that this man stands here before you completely well through the power of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth — whom you crucified and whom God raised from death.
11 Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says:‘The stone that you the builders despisedturned out to be the most important of all.’
12 Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us.”
13 The members of the Council were amazed to see how bold Peter and John were and to learn that they were ordinary men of no education. They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus.
